Default High oil temp
Just put the stage two Whipples on my merc 525s and oil temperature is running up to 220. Cannot figure out what’s causing it.
please help

220 I dont think is considered high.. I added oil thermostats so my oil would run 220*. Anything less and I don't think you will burn off any condensation.

Oil temps go up with load / rpm. 220F at idle would be high. 220F under sustained load is fine.
